lyrics

I am Number Man, I count, do you?

I will show you (he will show you)
I will show you, what to do
(repeat)

Watch the signs right outside your door
It’s like, it’s like, it’s like crazy!

Whoa!

Play the platinum card
Counting all the targets down, down, down
La la la lala la… Whoa!

I am Number Man, I count, do you?

I will show you (he will show you)
I will show you, what to do…

Well? (he will show you)
I will show you, what to do, what to do, what to do

Watch the skies, as they turn to dawn
It’s like, it’s like, it’s like crazy!

Whoa!

Play the platinum card
Counting all the targets down, down, down
La la la lala la… Whoa!

I count, do you?
I got money and things yeah!
I drive a very nice car oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
I do, do you count, count, count?
Whoa, a revelation
I do, do you count?
Oh…oh, oh, oh
I am the Number Man

I am Number Man, I count!
